The August 26th Irrigation and Energy Conservation Field Day at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Haskell Ag Lab near Concord, NE will help producers save water and money.
Sponsored by the Nebraska Corn Board and the Nebraska Corn Growers Association in partnership with UNL Extension, the program starts with 8:30 a.m. registration and training from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Pre-registrations requested by August 21.
Participants will learn best management practices for corn production, achieve water conservation in irrigated and dryland corn production, learn how to reduce energy use production costs, find how to maintain and, in some cases, increase yield and profitability and learn to better manage surface and groundwater irrigation.
The complementary registration fee is provided in part through funding by the Nebraska Corn Board and the Nebraska Corn Growers Association. Certified Crop Advisor credits are available.
